    2x + 3 (x - 4) = 2 (2x - 6) + x

    Distribute 3 inside the parentheses.

    2x + 3x - 12 = 2 (2x - 6) + x

    Distribute 2 inside the parentheses.

    2x + 3x - 12 = 4x - 12 + x

    Combine like terms on the left side.

    5x - 12 = 4x - 12 + x

    Combine like terms on the right side.

    5x - 12 = 5x - 12

    This statement is TRUE, so your answer is: Always true
